It covers biodiversity at all levels: ecosystems, species, and genetic resources.  \no Objectives: Conservation of biodiversity, sustainable use of its components, and fair and equitable benefitsharing of genetic resources.  \no Secretariat: Montreal, Canada.  \no Governing Body: Conference of the Parties (COP), which meets every two years.  \no COPs: Total 16 summits till 2025.  \no COP 16 (2025) was convened in Cali Columbia and Rome (resumed session) .  \no Launched Cali Fund in the margins of the negotiations, operationalizing benefit-sharing from digital sequence information (DSI) on genetic resources.  \no DSI refers to genomic sequence data, used to identify genetic markers for disease resistance and developing various crop plants.  \no COP 17 (2026) will be at Yerevan, Armenia.  \no Subsequent Agreement:  \no The Cartagena Protocol: Adopted in 2000 and entered into force in 2003, this regulates the transboundary movement of living modified organisms (LMOs) .  \no The Nagoya Protocol: Adopted in 2010, establishes a legally binding framework for access to genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from their use.  \no Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF)  \no Adopted at 15th COP (2022), at two sessionsKunming (China) and Montreal (Canada) .  \no A multilateral treaty aimed at halting and reversing biodiversity loss globally by 2030-30x30 target (protecting 30% of land and oceans by 2030) .  \no India’s Participation:  \no India is a party to the UN-CBD, having officially ratified the treaty on February 18, 1994.  \no Legislative Action: India enacted the Biological Diversity Act, 2002 to implement the CBD provisions.  \no Institutional Setup: Established the statutory National Biodiversity Authority (NBA) in 2003 at Chennai, alongside State Biodiversity Boards (SBBs) and Biodiversity Management Committees at the local level.  \no The National Biodiversity Authority is a statutory autonomous body established to implement the Biological Diversity Act, 2002, regulate India's biological resources, and ensure equitable benefit-sharing.  \no Nodal Ministry: Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.  \no Headquarters: Chennai.  \no Legal Mandate: Implements India's obligations under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Nagoya Protocol.  \no Three Tier Governance: National Biodiversity Authority, State Biodiversity Boards, Biodiversity Management Committees (village level) .  \nLepidoptera  \nScientists of the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) have come out with a detailed \"Catalogue of Lepidoptera (Butterflies & Moths) of India”.  \no Lepidoptera is a major insect order comprising butterflies, moths, and skippers.  \no Characteristic Features:  \no Scaly wings (hence the name) microscopic dust like scales on the wings.  \no Proboscis: Adult’s mouthparts are modified into along, coiled sucking tube used mostly for drinking flower nectar.  \no Antennae: Highly variable; clubbed or knobbed in butterflies, and feathery, thread-like, or comb-like in moths.  \no Mostly herbivorous (folivorous) as caterpillars and nectarivorous as adults.  \no Significance: They comprise about 180,000 species of butterflies and moths (Second-largest insect order after beetles) . This makes up roughly 8.6% of all described animal and living organism species on Earth.  \no India is home to 13,703 species, with highest concentrations in Northeast India, the Himalayan ranges, and the Western Ghats.  \no Endemism: Around 77 butterfly species are strictly endemic to India.
